It seems the naked eye is a much better choice when it comes to viewing this shower as the more of the sky you can see at one time the more streaking fireballs you may come across. Meteor showers are something that happens when particles collide with the Earth’s atmosphere at high speeds, they then burn and this creates the flash that we call ‘shooting stars.’ If you are anything like me you see this as an unlimited wish opportunity.

Check out the video below to see a timelapse of the Perseid shower from 2016. These showers are quite fascinating and the more I watch them the more excited I get for the one to come. Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity.
